Great bumps. So, neat story. I bought a large collection summer of 2019. 1,100 LP's. It was a great score. Threw out 300 because they were mildewed or moldy. Kept the best 150 or so. Sold off the remaining 650 in bulk for like $300 because it was junk, worth nothing or just stuff I thought I could flip or wanted to keep. This Pharaoh Sanders album was in there: I like Pharaoh but the latter stuff is so free that it sometimes loses my attention. But this song, Let Us Go Into The House of the Lord just stuck with me. My copy was VG- . Wasn't great. Sold it on Discogs and played it one last time. It bothered me that the song I liked was so noisy. As soon as I sold it off, I immediately regretted it. I was kind of hoping the buyer would want to return it. So when he posted positive feedback, I went right back on Discogs and bought a better copy for nearly the same price I sold it at. Haha. This song, man. FUCK! Magical.

So they should name it Vinyl Collective? Aye!

The USPS will take anything as long as you have an address and pay for postage (hazards and visibly illegal items notwithstanding).

What the fuck is the business that's being started?

There's no Cajun 45 thread. An ode to Port Barre, LA, this tune mixes a bit of Cajun, zydeco, swamp pop, and garage to coalesce into a pretty original little tune. It's pretty fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKFm3haUt68

I have a first press of this, so no need to buy, but I bought a Reborn shirt when I saw it. This is still a great album.

I'm glad my estimations were high. I might get a copy. I have a 6 eye mono. And a 70's stereo. Would be a nice companion even though my current set up wouldn't maximize having an audiophile copy.

So $250 retail?

I can't believe how much the mono box is going for. I want it now just so I don't have to keep buying the damn albums. But I can't pay the going rate. Want to trade for cooler albums? LOL

Just so I'm clear, Preservinghardcore spent $30K on Victory Records right? I'm following on IG now just to keep mentioning that from now until he blocks me.

I think it sounds great. It's not for me. I wouldn't buy it. But it sounds like 2020 modern mu$ic. I hope he makes a shit ton of money off it.

Oh good. I'll take away my sad reaction then, haha.

High grade copies are easily $1,500 now. But looking at finished auctions, I guess it's easier to get a VG- one for a couple hundred. I never watch a copy because I know it will always sell for more than I want to pay.

1st pressings of Blue Train just keep getting crazier and crazier. I wish I would have dropped the $500-800 it was going for 20 years ago.

Grumble grumble. Pass. But love the So Impossible and Summer's Kiss EP's.

The place I mentioned I got Rudolph I also got that Skipper At Home but the cover was wrecked. But a great LP. I got to find a jacket cheaply.

God, this was fun. I joined VC, DF and Discogs all in 2010. I was 30 and going to have my son later in the year. Thankfully never been ripped off as a result of the boards. This was fun reading these old threads.

I joined DF, VC, and Discogs all in 2010. Wild ride, these past ten years. I loved DF for the community. It felt as if everyone was older (as I was 29/30 then, it seemed like most people were around my age, had kids, careers, etc). It's not entirely accurate, of course; there were younger folk using the boards actively. But VC felt very young in comparison. I made a few real/fake internet friends via DF. Actually, I did meet a couple people via DF in real life, too. I also grew my collection a good bit because of buying/trading, and it was another outlet to sell. It was a great community. I had my +/- 1,300 record collection customized on there. It always loaded easily on one FUCKING page on my phone (unlike having to scroll through a max of 250 items per page on Discogs). I could easily check my collection or want list. It was great. But then I didn't save it. So I have no recollection of what was or wasn't there. I've added about 500 items on to Discogs but the task is daunting and I'm lazy or preoccupied. I won't add my stuff back there because at this point Discogs is the standard. But it would be great to have another board to check when I'm ... bored.

I've never seen a test for Understand! So great.

I got Blood and Fire from Holy Mountain.

I don't care about Shards. Won't listen to it, but I want a first press just to be a Zao nerd. Interested to hear this repress of Blood & Fire. Back in 2008, I was in grad school on my laptop when Blood & Fire went live. The black sold out in minutes then and I settled for another color. Eventually bought a tour press. Also got a black off ebay for $25 PPD in 20010-ish. Sold those for a lot of money when I needed money for bills. So that's what I'm aiming for tomorrow.

Took me a second to realize you were talking about HHN at Universal, haha. I was born and raised in Melbourne, FL (about 1.5 hours from Orlando). Was there for 19 years, went to college in the panhandle and lived in the state until I was 24. Been to Universal a handful of times, never once made it to HHN.

Shill bidding has been happening since the early days of eBay.

Did you ever get the Beatles mono box? Want to trade it now, lol

Getting rare horror soundtracks is cool, but in many instances, I only play them a couple times and then just would rather have the money. Finding a Japanese pressing of this with the OBI is proving very difficult.
